Classic Hardware

Posted on December 18, 2010 by Ching under Wishlist.

I thought I would be festive and wear my cherries retrolite jewelry today by Classic Hardware. I just love, love, love their stuff!

My Frye Harness 12Rs arrived today. I’d read that they run large and to order a half size smaller. The problem I had was that I could not find them in stock in size 5.5 anywhere for a reasonable price. Thank God for eBay!

I won the auction with a final price less than half what the boots would have cost me at the store. That was on Sunday and they arrived today. The transaction couldn’t have gone any smoother. I love, love, love my new Fryes! 🙂

Brian’s New Shoes

Posted on December 13, 2010 by Ching under Wishlist.

Brian got his Christmas present early. 🙂

Actually, Brian and I told each other that we wouldn’t buy presents for each other this year because our New Year’s Eve trip to Las Vegas is supposed to be our Christmas. However, I did promise him that he could get his Vibram FiveFingers TREKSPORT shoes early so that he could bring them to Vegas and wear them on the trip. We had looked at them a few months ago at Backwoods and decided to wait. Brian got his day the other day. Merry Christmas, baby!

He got some matching Injinji because you can’t wear regular socks with FiveFingers. LOL. Here’s what the shoes look like on…

They look weird, don’t they? I’ve been seeing more and more people wearing them around town, though. There’s a guy who wears them to muscle pump at North YMCA and a woman who wears them to Zumba at the East branch.

This is Jay checking them out…

They came over for a nightcap the other night, after Becca won the 7:30 pm poker tournament at the Players Club. Congrats, Becca! We had some wine and cheese (our favorite kind) and Triscuits, and we gave them a couple of ornaments for their Christmas tree that we picked up at Old Cowtown Museum. I’ll try to post our Cowtown photos in the next couple of days so come back soon.

The Blendtec Blender is my Dream Blender

Posted on November 7, 2010 by Ching under Wishlist.

While at Sam’s Club today, Brian and I got to watch the Blendtec sales rep do a demo. Holy cow! That blender is awesome! I was completely blown away. I told Brian that we needed to pawn all of our crappy kitchen appliances so we could buy one. LOL.

Brian told me that Blendtec makes the blender that they use for Will it Blend? I guess I’d been living under a rock because I didn’t know that the general public could buy those blenders.

Check out the YouTube video below where they blend an iPad. Wow.

Incidentally, I almost won an iPad this week at the Social Media Customer Response Summit. Our friends at 3CSI who sponsored casino night on Wednesday raffled off an iPad on Thursday morning at the conference. I was only one number off (last three digits of 840 vs. 841). Booo! Barry from CellularSouth ended up winning it.

If my fairy godmother decided to send me an iPad, I promise that I won’t throw it in a blender and pulverize it. Please, please, please let me win it next time!

Fall 2010 Parade of Homes

Posted on October 27, 2010 by Ching under Things to Do, Wishlist.

Brian and I really enjoy the Parade of Homes. It’s like cheap entertainment for us. Misty likes going also, but I don’t know of anyone else who enjoys it as much as we do besides her. Anyway, here are some of the things that I would love for my future house to have… (I can dream, can’t I?)

… an outdoor fireplace and built-in grill …

… a huge bathroom so that I can dance around while I get ready in the morning …

… a large shower that can fit a basketball team, preferably with multiple shower heads so that Brian and I won’t have to fight over who gets the water …

… a large walk-in closet with a built-in shoe cabinet …

… a home theater room with stadium seating …

… a covered deck with a nice view of the lake …

… a large enough living room so that we can have half a dozen guests over to play Rock Band and not feel so crowded …

Brian wants a TV in the shower, but it’s not really a must for me.

I’ll probably never ever ever own the house of my dreams. Oh, well. At least I can live vicariously through the Parade of Homes twice a year. LOL.

Ever since we learned that my friend Misty enjoys checking out the Parade of Homes, the three of us have been going together. She’s just as curious about how the affluent people of Wichita live as we are. =P

Check out Misty and Brian are staring at something below. I don’t know what they are looking at… Probably the manabloc. Brian always likes checking out the utility room in the basement. He fancies himself as some sort of plumbing expert ever since he started working for Viega and he is totally fascinated by the manablocs. LOL.
